DIGITAL SIGNATURE FOR EDUCATION SECTOR
These days’ educational institutions are seeing value in incorporating
technology into their operations so that they can devote their time and efforts
in important activities rather than in operational tasks. Most of the students,
parents and teachers are becoming tech-savvy and looking forward to a digitized
experience when they join a school or college.
To meet the demand for complete digitization, the education sector must
integrate e-signatures at both administrative and educational levels. By
implementing digital signatures and other technologies, students and parents
can undertake activities like accessing student data like loan, repayment
information, signing forms and other documents etc.
Processes in education sector
that can be digitized:
1. Student application process:
Most of the Education institutes these days provide online application
portals. The students can digitally sign their application form and other
documents.
2. Transcript Signing:
Students have to request colleges and then get signed and sealed
transcripts to be sent to universities. This process takes time and involves
costs. Digital signing of transcripts can reduce time and costs. (Digital
signatures/ Aadhar signing)
3. Other use cases:
Following documents can be signed electronically:
- Scholarship
documents
- Transfer
requests
- Financial aid
documents
- Progress reports
- Change of
course/ major forms
- School leaving
certificates
- Any other form
or document
Advantages of digital signatures
for education sector:
- Streamline the operations and processes:
With electronic signatures, education institutes can reduce paperwork in
many areas like student applications, issuance of documents like transfer
certificates, report cards etc. This will reduce the time and efforts involved
in these processes.
- Interact the way your students want:
Students are highly comfortable with the digital world, and wish to
undertake all processes online
- Achieve last mile in digitization at your Institution:
Many educational institutes have implemented systems to make their
processes electronic, but last part remains paper based due to physical
approvals
- Cut Costs by Going Digital
Academic institutions are incurring needless costs and delay due to
paper based processes
